Click on these links to read the story of Lazarus. You may find that the third link is especially kid-friendly and appropriate for younger family members. Consider having different members of the family take turns reading the various story versions aloud. Then talk about some of the following topics that relate to the story:

When Jesus told Martha that Lazarus would be resurrected, she thought he was talking about “the last days.” Martha wasn’t completely wrong in her assumption, but she didn’t quite have the “big picture.” Although Jesus did raise Lazarus from the dead that day, he also explained to Martha that he was the resurrection.

ASK • What did Jesus mean by that?
• How does Jesus work miracles in our lives today?
• Can you think of ways that Jesus gives Christians hope? As a family, make a list of these.

Check out these Web sites that explain how water is an essential part of life. How long do you think you could last without a drink of water? Can you find research to support your answer?

Just as we cannot survive without physical water, life is futile without the living water that only Jesus can give. How long do you think you could last without Jesus? Explain.

Discuss the gift of living water. How do you think it changed the Samaritan woman’s life? How might it change yours?

Browse this site and click on some of the links to learn how to help the homeless. Do you find anything that you, as a family, could do?

Ask a family member to read 2 Samuel 9:1-13 aloud. Mephibosheth did not have a home. What did David do for him?

Click on this link to read a short story about a boy named Gavin. What was so difficult about Gavin’s choice? Why did Gavin decide to be kind, even though it was hard for him? How was Gavin like David?

You may want to scroll down to the bottom of the screen and submit your own story! Do you have a story about kindness?

As a family, make a list of ways you can be kind. Post it in a prominent place in your home, perhaps on the refrigerator. Set a time to get back together and discuss the things on the list you have accomplished.
